I would like to submit my +1 We regularly use the Scribus Generator for mailings and there is no coding error, but depending on the database and the complexity of a document, the script can run typically up to 20 minutes.
Sometimes we have reasons (like a power cut (Africa), or a database error) to interrupt such a script. Since it uses much of the processor capacity, and keeps jumping between windows, I never manage to cut it. So I have to look at my frantic computer, knowing that the entire run and all results will be faulty. I could add some break dialog into the Scribus Generator, but that would mean that I have to confirm many times, when all is well. So a nice, solid, red emergency-button for all scripts would be a valuable and welcome feature please. If possible. Or - if this feature is not important to most users - could somebody give us pointers how Matt and Martin could add such a feature in all their concerned scripts, please? thank you and greetings, Martin On 11.03.2021 21:08, Matt Miller wrote: > Sometimes I do "Script | Execute Script ..." to run a custom script and then > due to my coding error the script hangs or runs too long.
